> Well, i would argue that the host system takes priority until a system under construction is viable on its own.
Generally thats true, afterall its why its ok to remove a tumor (even if that tumor may have a brain which can happen).
the difference here is we have a host system who **forced** the subsystem into existance **and** waited long enough for the subsystem to develop that it potentially could suffer or expiernce its death. So the analogy breaks down quickly.
If I abduct a human, force them to be biologically dependant upon me against their will, then murder them I dont kind it an acceptable excuse that just because they were dependent on me (as a consequence of my actions) that I had a right to kill them.
